Austin McGlamery '21 Recruiting Profile

I began playing baseball at eight years old as a way to spend more time with my friends. After that first season, I knew that baseball was the sport for me and that I wanted to become a pitcher. I began working with a pitching coach to learn the right way to throw and become the best pitcher I could be.

Baseball has challenged me both mentally and physically throughout the years. While playing club baseball over the last five years, I have learned to become more mentally tough as the competition has gotten more skilled. I have been challenged physically and pushed myself past what I thought I could do. Playing multiple games per day and each weekend has allowed me to build up an endurance level to go for the win. I am also driven to do my best in high school and have selected classes that will challenge me. I have maintained a solid GPA and will work to improve on that this year to better position myself for college.

Off the field, I enjoy hunting and fishing with my family. I was given the opportunity at a young age to learn how important proper mechanics were. I currently mentor and work with younger pitchers on mechanics and stretching. I am proud to see their technique improve and watch them succeed in games.
